ACCESSIBILITY NOTICE Please reach out to me for accessibility concerns not covered here. Special accommodations can and will be made where possible. - VTT use not necessary. Special attention can be given to 'theater-of-the-mind' descriptions at request. Also, the gamemaster can click buttons for you at need. Allowing you to enjoy a more movie-like experience. - Specific content tropes can be culled from the narrative to better suit your comfort. CONTENT WARNING Rated R/TV-MA/M for Mature. We use these "lines" and "veils" to moderate certain content: Lines (will not feature): - Out-of-character/real-world prejudice against protected groups - Sexual violence Veils (will "fade to black"): - Explicit sexual content - Very graphic descriptions of violence - Violence towards children, pets, and other innocents FEEDBACK METHODS Feedback is always welcome in any form (Discord messages, voice calls, snail mail, etc.). Criticisms or personal issues will be duly heard and considered; changes to the game structure will be made where possible to better accommodate everyone involved. We use "stars" and "wishes" as a form of feedback. At every session's end, each player may share things they enjoyed, and want to experience more of (stars), and things they hope to experience (wishes). TIME POLICY You are asked to arrive on time, but your time is your own, you will not be penalized for arriving late. The game begins approximately 15 minutes after the listed start time (with that time usually being given to socialization and notes). We play for 3 to 3.5 hours, ending where possible at a good "story moment". We enjoy a 5β10 minute screen-break twice each session, typically at hour intervals. SCHEDULE POLICY We play 3 of every 4 week. The 4th week is a creativity and scheduling break for all involved. Typically, the break week off occurs at regular intervals, but may sometimes be shifted to best suit a majority of players during a weird scheduling period. You are free to skip an upcoming session without penalty up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time. After the 24-hour mark, your placement and payment are locked-in. Refunds in the form of site credit will only be issued for cases conforming to the StartPlaying refund policy: https://intercom.help/startplaying/en/articles/8719194-refund-policy You can skip an upcoming session from the Upcoming Games tab of your StartPlaying player portal. SESSION ZERO Session zero refers to a meeting where we discuss expectations and totally prepare you for the game, including building or at least initially designing a character sheet. If you are joining after the first session, our session zero will be private: a short voice call (or text session, at preference) to review the same details.

How will character creation work
Use D&D Beyond and share the finished sheet with the gamemaster to import it to the virtual tabletop. All official 2014 edition content is allowed. Please contact me to schedule a free character consultation to inspire ideas or explain steps, if you want. While considering your character, try to answer these questions: β’ What are my personal motivations? β’ What are my technical specialties? β’ What social role do I fill? β’ What does the city mean to me? (if anything)
